3 inspiring stories of men rocking their unconventional careers!

“As a kid, I wanted to become a zoo keeper. But after I completed my graduation, Appa faced a loss in his business. My elder brother and I, we had to take charge; I took a job at a call centre.

For 8 years, I juggled client calls and late nights–it was so mundane, but I was doing it for my family. And after I got married, the responsibilities doubled and my ‘unconventional’ passion took a backseat.

But in 2013, life took an unexpected turn–I had to travel to Singapore for work. The word ‘Singapore’ brought back memories. I had wanted to visit the Singapore Zoo for as long as I can remember!

And when I got there, it was surreal. I spent the day in awe, clicking photos. There were no cages; the animals were roaming around freely. Those few hours there rekindled a lost fire within me–I was meant to be there, working at the zoo.
